Clinical Application
This handheld retractor is designed to provide targeted exposure of the scapular region and periscapular soft tissues during open shoulder and scapular procedures. Typical uses include retraction of the scapular body, spine, and adjacent musculature to facilitate fracture reduction, internal fixation, access to the posterior glenoid, and other open approaches where controlled, broad-surface retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The broad 75 x 50 mm blade offers a wide contact area to distribute retraction forces and reduce focal tissue pressure. The 16 cm overall length gives sufficient reach for deep or posterior exposures while remaining compact enough for handling in tight operative fields. The single-blade, handheld format allows the assistant or surgeon to position retraction precisely and adjust tension dynamically during dissection and fixation.
